Biography
Tommy Carroll was born in 1901 in Montana, and he gained his "lantern jaw" from a boxing incident. In 1921, he was arrested for larceny, he was arrested for larceny in Iowa, and he took part in several robberies during the 1920s before becoming a member of John Dillinger's gang in 1933. In 1934, he joined Dillinger, Homer Van Meter, Baby Face Nelson, Eddie Green, and Red Hamilton in robbing a Sioux Falls, South Dakota bank of $49,500, and he was the getaway driver during the robbery of $52,344 from a Mason City, Iowa bank on 13 March 1934. In the spring of 1934, Carroll and his girlfriend separated from Dillinger's gang as law enforcement began to hunt down the Great Depression-era outlaws, and he headed to Waterloo, Iowa to get fitted for glasses. On 7 June 1934, police found Carroll parked outside of a police garage in a car with a fake license plate, and the police announced that they were going to arrest him. He was shot in the jaw, but he exited the car and fled into the alleyway, attempting to flee. He was shot four times and was mortally wounded, and he died in the hospital.
